:wtf: Good luck with that. (The Cheetahs only play their best game against SA teams when the competing team needs the points to get into the semi's etc.)

I hope I do not eat my words.

Last year the Cheetahs played exceptionally well on their tour of down under. No reason why they can't do it again.

I have 2 points I don't mind losing:

It kills me that I simply do not see the Bulls getting the better of the blues. Blues are showing show much class right now. Stranger things have happened but anyway.

I also think the Chiefs are gonna murder the stormers.

I tend to agree with you on both games. Still not sure why I picked the Bulls. That said I picked the Chiefs. Just don't see them losing this one. I'd love to be wrong though.

 

[Solitude]

The Stormers at home will be a much more difficult game that the previous two Chiefs games. The Stormers defence is also something that the Chiefs haven't experienced in a while.

Stormers should take the game.

What I said previously in the thread :
/snip/The Crusaders are always slow to start and always mess up my points. They only won one of their first 3 games last year.
Lost to Highlanders & Chiefs, and only won the Blues by 1 point. /snip/

From next week I will start picking the Crusaders again.

I didn't see either game, but from some highlights I saw, it looked like the Crusaders played better today. Really hoping they shape up. Think their lack of specialist wingers are hurting them.

Wonder if we will see a new generation of Cape Chiefs (as opposed to Cape Crusaders) 'fans' tonight...

 

[Nom Chompsky]

Lol

Possibly. Some love to follow a winner.

I've been to 3 of the saders games at newlands and at least 25% of the fans support them.
Will probably go to a 4th one this year and maybe the schmucks game as well - if we can get a good ref.

Embarrassingly slow start to schmucks supporters complaining about the ref...but they haven't lost yet so it is too be expected.

They not going to lose this weekend either. Bugger.

LOL at refs remarks above. Alf is starting with the schmuckies and Chris is fueling the fire.

Actually, where is M_H these days?

VRYSTAAT!

That commentator is talking like Kripke from Big Bang Theory and he seems to be as surprised as I am: good call McT. At the mo', they are tearing the highlanders a new one. Seems their plan is let Highlanders advance then take ball and dot under the poles.


And as I am typing this, AGAIN!!!!! Three intercept tries. Come on. This is embarrassing for highlanders. Pretorius isn't taking them seriously at all! 30-7 to Cheetahs

VRYSTAAT!

Is your car white with orange racing stripes and with Cheetah logos on the side?

 

[Piesank]

VRYSTAAT!

I love it!

Just need to play 80 minutes though

Nice try - car's blue with BULLS logos on. In fact, I am thinking of putting blue flames down the sides - if only it was a bentley.

It does me well to see the Cheetahs turn these sheep shaggers on their heads.

 

[GreGorGy]

You and McT are the only ones who called this on Bru so yeah, you better hope they make 80. So far so good - they were all laughing after that last knock-on that was almost ANOTHER intercept.

Crazy game - Highlanders make big strides, go on attack, get close to tryline and then Cheetahs score.

 

[sand_man]

The cheetahs are rarely boring.

Good point. They may be nowhere in super 15 but you quite right, always entertaining, even in defeat.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Cheetahs played the first half like they always play the last 20 minutes. Those loose forwards are playing monster games!

 

[sand_man]

Adrian looking a bit sore. Hopefully nothing a weeks rest won't fix.

Cheetahs have been excellent today!! Clearly targeted this fixture as one they wanted to win.

Edit: @James take back your Great Wall of China remark. Cheetahs defense tonight has been cracking!!

 

[sand_man]

Well done Cheetahs. Enjoyed that!!!!

Good win!!!

 

[Solitude]

Lekker Cheetahs! So proud of them.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Losing the Superbru points was worth seeing that performance. Poki scoring 3 tries was pretty cool, too.

Well Fark me!!

When a NZ team is chasing a game and they kick the ball..... then you know your defence is rock solid.

VRYSTAAAAAAAT!!!!

Welcome back Goose and also Brussow!

Just noticed Stormers are now at the bottom of the log. This is just embarrassing.
